September 13, 2012

View of the day-How can you not start the day combining in a good mood with this character  to greet you? This is the single point connect for the header hydraulics.

Too bad we weren't combining.  Al spent the day hauling canola again...we decided not to try the wheat until Saturday.  Of course, Al is already moving it ahead one day and wants to try a test tomorrow.  Al has his own camera and even though he sits out at the field in the grain trucks waiting for a load, he claims he has nothing to take a picture of.  Marilyn is sure that since he took that great sunset picture a few days ago, he thinks his work is done.  Marilyn did enter it in a fall picture contest at the radio station and they will be putting all the pictures up at a later date for voting with the winner getting $1000.  We will add the link to get your vote when they put it up!

We took a trip into Yorkton this evening, for Marilyn to attend a Grant Writing 101 class. There are so many different agencies that have money to give to non-profit groups in Canada, that the theatre group decided to send a contingent to learn the finer points of bullsh...uh, writing up proposals.  

While Marilyn was studying, Al went to visit with Glen, the former tenant at our campground, who was just getting ready to move his camper back to Round Lake from our driveway.  He tried to talk Al into the Challenger combine that he had been demoing, but Al said Marilyn doesn't look good in that color.

We went for coffee to McDonald's with Marilyn's friends, Brenda and Pam, then drove the 50 miles back to the camper at Abernethy.

And tried to ignore the temperature gauge on the pickup that was showing 37ºF at 11pm...
